We use Arrow Exterminating. We have a monthly contact with them that started when we had mice in the garage.

Depends on the critters? But generally an exterminator.

Re: Critters in my attic!
Thinking squirrels..i called one exterminator already. $100 for an inspection and if I hire them that goes toward the cost of the de-squirreling and closing off entryways.
My roofer recommended them so I'm inclined to do it.
Able Wildlife. Anyone know them?

Re: Critters in my attic!
How much was that? Did he close up the hole that they were entering through?

It came out to be like $1000 and yes, he did close up the hole. I heard them the night before we left for London on vacation but we had to wait until we got home to call. I was afraid they were going to be in my bedroom when I got home. LOL

Re: Critters in my attic!
I would have replied sooner, but I didn't see this til now. I'm on the tail end (pun intended) of de-squirreling. I heard them in the attic scurrying about and it FREAKED me out. I called TAG Wildlife Removal, only because they were close by. It was $575 plus $125 for the first visit, which was an emergency visit at night when I first heard them. He honestly tried to talk me out of the emergency visit, assuring me the if he came the next day, it would be fine, but I insisted he come right away. There was no way I'd be able to sleep not knowing what was going on up in the attic!
He trapped and removed for 2 weeks, then he was supposed to come back this week to close up the entry spot. I haven't heard from him, so I'll give him a call next week.

Thanks for responding. I'm having Catch a Critter come on Wednesday. He spent a lot of time with me on the phone going over all scenarios. We think it's squirrels. He says it takes about a week to catch and then patch the entryway. If it's squirrels it's $650, if it's Racoons it's $750. Nasty either way!
DH and I almost fell down when we got the quotes from these places. But they are rodents and a nuisance and they have to go.

Critters in my attic!
I've paid someone $450 so far and nada squirrels has he caught. I can hear them in the attic between the floorboards and they nest over our bedroom, but we don't know how they are getting in. I have a picture of one hanging on to the top corner of our house but he said he's checked and there's no access in that area.
Anyone know a successful removal company who works out east?

Re: Critters in my attic!
I like Ray from Catch a Critter but the point of entry is too steep for him to access. I highly recommend him as he identified some other spots we need to address in the future and knows his stuff.
My roofer is going to come and take a look and see if he can access the entry point.
The squirells are not in my attic but borrowed inside a piece of siding with a leaf nest. So the nest needs to be removed and then the siding needs to be screwed back in.

Re: Critters in my attic!
Just buy a HAVAHART trap put a peanut butter spread bagel in it and trap it. Drive it quite a few miles away and release. Find the place where they are getting in and seal it shut.
